Case Report: Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation and task-oriented training improve motor function in chronic severe post-stroke paralysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Severe upper-limb motor paralysis following chronic stroke presents a significant rehabilitation challenge, often with limited recovery. This case study explores the effects of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) combined with task-oriented training on motor recovery in a patient with chronic stroke and severe upper-limb impairment.

Methods

A 50-year-old male with right upper-limb paralysis post-hemorrhagic stroke underwent a 2-week intervention comprising 12 sessions of rPMS targeting the elbow and wrist extensors, combined with task-oriented training. Motor function was assessed using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), kinematic analysis, Motor Activity Log (MAL), and electromyographic (EMG) analysis of wrist flexion-extension movements.
